Senior resident grand daughter did the above pencil sketch of meself a few days ago. I intended taking it down to 'the Frame Store', and having it framed, but S.R. G.D. dissuaded me, and found the above oak frame, then framed and presented me with the picture. We love it! The grandchildren are generally very gifted.

Handsome, creative, capable and intelligent gene-pools on all sides Mike. I'm proud to belong to your family.
Hello Carl. Yes, our generation didn't do too badly in the creativity department, but som of the present lot have us beaten hands down.
Weaker and wiser Mike... But I was never very convinced about the 'weaker' bit.
Perhaps I should 'splain that : When we were boys in the Norfolk fens there was a popular saying (unquestioningly believed in) that each succeeding generation grows 'weaker and wiser'.
Can never see it, but it seemed a well meant compliment to the young (which we were at the time) so --no complaints.
